Forget your typical New England Farmhouse. This one has everything you can imagine plus a large 0.25+/- acre lot with two oversized garages - 5 total bays. These opportunities don't come along often and when they do, you need to jump on them. Don't let this be the one you missed. Located in the Oakdale Neighborhood of Portland this property is the epicenter of all things people love about our small city; moments to Deering Oaks Park and Saturday Farmer's Market, steps to Rose Food, an easy evening stroll to Woodford's Corner restaurants, coffee shops and retail, plus easy access to Route 295. This well preserved home offers 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms in 2,293+/-sf. Built in 1895 much of this property's historic character has been preserved. With your updating it will be ready for another 100 years of enjoyment. A full basement and attic with expansion possibilities round out this incredible opportunity. Additionally, the City of Portland is encouraging infill development of larger parcels of land. There is potential to add additional units for rental or resale condominiums.
